Major(s): Political Science and American Studies

Hometown: Clermont, FL

About: When Yarely joined mock trial two years ago, she had 2 goals. The first was to figure out what mock trial is. She currently believes it has something to do with the dramatic arts, murder, and hot gossip. No one seems to be able to disagree with her. The second was to have first years carry the case box (because really, she’s served her time). Basking in the enlightenment of her fulfillment of these goals — in her eyes anyways— she’s found herself stumbling into her next role, the vice presidency. Regardless of her stumble, she’s excited to return for another year of being accused of murder. The half of her brain that isn’t focused on mock trial is pursing a double major in Political Science and American Studies. Yarely can usually be found in hoop with Charlotte, studying in Pendleton Hall (loving called pendie), or micro managing her google calendar and frankly her teams as well. 

Favorite Mock Trial Moment: Sticky note pile, 3am practices with Miya and Charlotte, and resisting the urge to reveal her guilt while on the stand.
